A
letter from Seňor Solly "Chainsaw"
Tequila to his amigos in the CIA.

Hi Guys,
Solly here.

The
local gringos in theAustralian government couldn't find
anyone with adequate qualifications to flog off their national Telecoms so they made me an offer of ten million bucks
a year to do the job.

Telstra,
the Telecom company doesn't even belong to them but, on my life, who can
refuse an offer like this. Between you and I the first thing I intend to do is to fit taps
on all their telephones, I will tell them it will stop the leaks. I
mentioned this to The Hon Helen Coonan, the Minister for
Communications and Phoney Talks, and she
thought it was an excellent idea but she would like the system to be up and
running before they I it ( nudge. nudge. wink. wink).

My top priority will to bring in a few high paid execs. (Bill, Phill &
Greg for a start) from Graviton, US West or the Old Firm, ( as we
insiders affectionately know it).

There are quite a lucrative options open. Contract money is no object
here. Oh man, these guys have billy cans full of $A bucks pouring out of
their obsequious orifices.

To pay for this, a number of the great unwashed will have to get the
chop. (Perhaps 'downsized' sounds more compassionate. Whatever, they'll
all be out on their arses!)

In 1992 they had a Yank here called Blount.
He terminated 40,000 employees with mortgages and children to support. My
predecessor Ziggy didn't do so well, he only managed 10,000.

Solly Trujillo, salutes the 12,000 sacked Australian

Telstra workers.

But hold on to your sombreros amigos, because Seňor Solly is going to show these Gringos how things are done "South of
the Border, Down Mexico Way". - Olé!!

After
I have run the remnants of Telstra personnel through my guillotine there here will be so many
indigenous Telstra call centre wallahs employed in Bangalore the rupee will
s'curry up the Khyber faster than you can say Mahatma Coat.

I will be in touch with
millionaire MP Malcolm Turnbull, he is a director of Zionist bankers Goldman Sachs - he
is also one of our own - he was the dude sitting next to Prime Minister
John Howard at the dinner in Washington hosted by the CIA in Howard's honour a couple
of years back.

On
6-11-1999 Malcolm Turncoat, (he is a local Quisling and member of the
chardonnay sipping illiterati with good CIA connections) desperately
tried to topple the Australian Head of State. Unfortunately he failed
then switched allegiance to the ultra right wing, pseudo Christian,
Neo-con, Laboral Party, because for republicans, a monarchy is a severe
impediment to the aims of the Neocons and their NWO!

So,
listen up you guys, in the future be
a little discreet
when you contact me. Well, like, you know, don't mention
Allende, Chile, ITT or Henry Kissinger. It could prove to be a little touchy!

They
have a group here called ASIO(Asian
Spooks
In Oz)
but, to be honest, they are too busy looking for one thousand Chinese spies
to bother about big brother Solly,
and not to put too fine a slant on things, to me, a lot of these dudes look the
same.

Recuerdos a nuestros CIA amigos,

Adios, hasta la vista,

Sierra de
cadena Solly.

News
Flash 6 September, 2005. SeňorsSolly and Phil have been
attacked in Parliament and in the media over outrageous statements
regarding Telstra. The matter has been referred to ASIC, and hopefully,
there is a good chance Solly and his Tres Bandidos will ride of into the
sunset - minus the $3 million contract severance.

The
Vultures and Sharks are circling TELSTRA.

"You
can sometimes get more investment and a better price and greater activity
if you allow some greater levels of foreign investment", Mr Howard
said. (Australian Financial Review, December 15)The
T1 sale cost $260 million,including $91.2 million in commission and fees to the three global
coordinators, ABN Amro Rothschild, CS First
Boston
, and JBWere.

Former
Prime Minister Paul Keating’s “Banana Republic” and “the recession
we had to have” will pale into insignificance compared with the proposed
sale of what is left of Telstra. The vultures and sharks are already
circling for the kill in Senator Helen Coonan’s fire sale. Coonan’s
rich cronies in the Temple of Mammon, and the denizens of Wall Street are
about to launch into a monetary shark feeding frenzy which will decimate
an Australian institution.

Needless
to say "Chainsaw"
Tequila
and Senators Helen Coonan and Nick Minchin will ensure that the sale will
be placed in good
hands.
Leading the Charge of the Greed Brigade will be;Wall
Street bankers and moneylenders
with fine Scottish and Irish names such
as
Paddy O'Rothschild, Jock MacRockerfeller, Phil MacLehman, Mick
O'Warburg, Seamus O'Lazard, Shaun O'Seif, Patrick O'Goldman, Bruce
McSachs, and Phil MaPockets. Chainsaw's previous connections with the
CIA and EDS should ensure that all our confidential details will be safely
stored in a big computer in Texas, next to the big computer
that holds all our bank card details, which is next to the big one
connected directly
to
Pine Gap,
ad infinitum

Let's
hope newly elected Senator Barnaby Joyce will cross the floor.

Seňor Chainsaw Tequila's listed directorships
include his position on
the board ofEDS
(Electronic Data Systems),
an Information Technology company. This illustrious outfit
has a very colourful past which should be of interest to all
Australians.

Courier-Mail dated 15 May 2000 by

Madigan.

THE
Federal Government's growing dependence on outsourcing has cost one
department $6 million while another is seeking legal advice to recover
coats.

Evidence
has emerged that the IT outsourcing plan designed to save $1 billion is
actually costing money.

The
Labor Opposition has
labelled
the
programme
an "elaborate hoax" providing lucrative contracts to IT
providers while Increasing costs to the taxpayer.

Senator
Kate Lundy, who has gathered evidence on ITO problems for more than 12
months, has evidence equipment is not being delivered on time and service
delivery agreements are not being met.

Outsourcing
IT has so far:

*
Cost the Health Department $6 million over three years.

*
Left the Customs Department short or computer equipment needed to process
the GST.

*
Left the immigration Department 10 percent short on service delivery
agreements.

*
Prompted Customs to seek legal advice over a year-long delay on the
delivery of vital passenger processing equipment.

The
Federal Government has strongly defended ITO, saying it is saving taxpayer
dollars while delivering cutting-edge technology.

Asked
if the department was forced to effectively "soak up" $6
million, he replied: "That is what

the
numbers suggest."

Customs
officials confirmed the department was seeking legal advice after its
outsourcer EDS was a

year
late in delivering a Passenger Processing System.

Gail
Batman, Customs national manager passenger processing. said the cost of
the delay was still being discussed. Customs had not initiated legal
proceedings but had taken legal advice.

"We
are currently trying to attribute ownership of those costs," Ms
Bateman said.

Customs
officials also confirmed that EDS would not
deliver computers to handle an aspect of the GST by July I.

Customs
chief executive officer Lionel Woodward said Customs staff would do the
required work

manually
until September when the equipment should arrive.End of article.

My research is centred mainly on
the activities of EDS in the UK
and to a lesser extent in Canada. The ten items listed below and published in the highly
respected “Private Eye” magazine (
London) are just a small sample of some of the IT disasters in which this
company has been involved. Their Centrelink and ATO cock-up's in Australia
will appear later.

Will government bodies never learn?
The prison service has just signed a 12 year contract to develop its
computer system with none other than self-proclaimed founder of the IT
services industry and old friend of the Eye, EDS.

Considering the sensitive nature of
some of the material EDS will handle, it is interesting to note that in
the
US
the firm has just admitted to having been the victim of a rather large
hoax.

The company issued the following statement on 8 March: “EDS has
reported to the FBI... that it and

other companies are the victims
of a fraudulent procurement scheme. In late 1999 EDS discovered the
scheme, which revolved around what were purported to be procurements for a
highly sensitive project of NATO

One “Lt. Colonel A. West” of the
United States
Air Force and his fellows claimed to be working on behalf of Nato. EDS
said Nato would pay for the order for a “voice information verification
system”, said to be worth tens of millions of dollars, and potentially
billions. But after the equipment was shipped to the
Netherlands
neither it nor the Air Force officers were ever seen again.

First Britain
… then the world. This must be the secret corporate motto of the Eye’s
favourite
computer company EDS (Eyes passim ad nauseam) Not content with ballsing up
UK
government IT systems, the Texan firm has set its sights on
Australia.

The tax self-assessment computer programme run here by EDS
for the Inland Revenue was a sorry tale of backlog and waste, while the
Child Support Agency had to s-crap its useless EDS system. The London
Borough of Brent fined the company £9,000 for failing to meet targets to
collect council tax, and EDS was sacked by Wandsworth from a £3.2m
housing benefit contract.

In
Canada, EDS lost a contract to automate the income-security system because it
missed a 1998 deadline and risked overspending by millions.

Nevertheless the
Australian tax office (ATO) has turned a blind eye the catalogue of error
and delay and has agreed to pay the firm US$350m to “outsource” IT
activities and save the ATO $A1bn over the five years. Well, that’s the
plan, anyway….. Source;

Bailiff’s have moved into the head office of computer giant
EDS (Eyes passim ad nauseam) at
Stockley Park
after glitches in EDS’s own system resulted in bills going unpaid and
legal action being taken by angry creditors.

Since its European Administration Resources Systems (Ears)
went live,17 county court judgements have been brought against EDS. This
was the fault of a new system which is now under repair.

If EDS cannot get its own system right, say industry
observers, what hope is there for all the UK
companies and government departments that have entrusted their files to
the company? Source; Private Eye, 20-02-98

Taxpayers in a panic about new
self-assessment forms have received little help from the taxman. A deluge
of inquiries caused the tax computer to crash only two weeks before the
self-assessment deadline.

Spokesmen wrote this off as an expected teething problem. And who
supplies the taxman’s temperamental computer system? Step forward old
Eye favourite EDS, which supplies the systems in a contract worth £1.6bn
over ten years. (EDS scored previous successes at the disastrous Child
Support Agency and the Student Loans Company.) P.Eye

Pay and conditions remain unchanged, but "after transfer, you
will only be aIlowed to apply for BBC jobs open to external
candidates".

So that's bad news for staff with years of faithful, internal BBC
service under their belts, who will only return to the Beeb stripped of
their sometime lengthy years of service and pension entitlements. But good
news for BBC directorates who can leave the small matter of funding
"outsourced” redundancy payments to MedAs. Once BBC Resources is
finally “outsourced” as a limited company, similar staff Arrangements
are expecred there as well. Privates Eye 23-01-98

Bad
news at the Vehicle Inspectorate, where a new computer system due to be
completed last year has been hit by technical problems and won't now be
launched before May at the earliest.

As the inspectorate’s chief executive Ron Oliver said. the delay
is "disappointing". And who is the tardy supplier with whom the
inspectorate is working? Er. step forward our old friend EDS. The Texan
computer giant famous for its brilliant
UK
work at the Child Support Agency and the Student Loans Company (Eyes
passim).

EDS has also been having trouble in the
London
borough of Bent where the computer firm has a £50m outsourcing deal with
the council but has been hit by Financial penalties after failing to meet
targets. The council accused EDS of under performing in collection or
council tax and of losing vital files. EDS must now pay Benr £9,000 to
cover shortfalls, though it insists it is not at fault and has actually
improved tax coIlection.

EDS
also faces penalties in Wandsworth where the borough council accuses it of
failing to meet targets in responding to housing benefit clams.Private Eye 09-01-98

More
from EDS, the Texan computer giant with a foothold in almost every
UK
government department.
It’s highest profile contract to
date is to install the new tax “self-assessment” programme at the
Inland Revenue. The installation is already running millions of pounds
over-budget and over-time.

Meanwhile
Canada
, having spent $365m to automate the country’s income-security system,
theCanadian government is terminating its contract with EDS.

project couldn’t meet its 1998 deadline and would have cost millions
more to finish.The Canadians now intend to complete the project

EDS
case.
I have followed the EYE’s
long-running saga about
US
computer company EDS with great interest. I now note(HP Sauce, EYE 902) that the Child Support Agency (which, in this
context, effectively means EDS) is holding nearly four million detailed
personal data records.

This figure is especially alarming in
the context of the number of open CSA cases – 435,000. By contrast,
there are 650,000 CSA cases which are officially closed; in these, data
protection law (not to mention commonsense) would seems to require that
the personal data records be removed from the system. The same could
probably be argued for the further 735,000 cases which the CSA classes as
“inactive.

However, no data has been deleted,
removed or archived away from the CSA’s EDS computer system during the
three years it has been operating. But that, of course, is the game plan;
as you pointed out in a recent issue, EDS is hell-bent on amassing a
comprehensive data record on every man, woman and child in Great Britain.

Why
does the data protection registrar not step in to clip the CSA’s wings?
Because government departments are immune from prosecution under the data
protection laws. No wonder EDS is so keen to win government contracts! Big
Brother or what?Private Eye

End of quotes.

The alarming aspect is that whether the contracts were
completed or not, this foreign owned company has been paid billions of
dollars and has had access to the most sensitive information relating to
defence, income tax, child support, crime, council rates and vehicle
registration to name but a few.

Is the information made available to Texas HQ?

EDSis
a Texas
based IT company, owned by General Motors and founded by Ross Perot. When
we combine the above facts with the company’s stated policy of
Globalisation and glanceat
the EDS Australian client list i.e. Customs, Taxation, Banks, transport
and communications - not forgetting links to the CIA - the alarm bells
should immediately start ringing.

Despite
my having an Honours Degree in Rocket Science I have been unable to obtain
a postal address for the Executives from the Telstra web pages- it is as
evasive as the directory enquiries number in their telephone
directory. So, if you have any
comments or compliments regarding the sale of Telstra please ring:The Honorable Porter J. Goss, Central
